We are not a department in a faceless firm. We don’t do prison law as a side line. 

Michael Purdon Solicitor was established in Newcastle in 1994 with a clear aim to assist those in most difficulty and often without hope of turning their lives around.

We are considered one of the top UK Prison Law specialists and have been at the forefront in the development of prison law over the past decade.

Michael Purdon and Jules Purdon remain to this day as they did in 1994 striving to provide a personal service to those charged with criminal offences or already in custody seeking help with prison law matters and legal challenges to prison and probation decisions. 

We don't need to practice other types of law to fill our days, each day is devoted to prison law Clients and their progression out of custody. 

We don’t believe any other legal practice provides such a consistent quality service delivered by the same family for over 20 years.

The majority of our clients come from referrals. The superb client feedback we receive, especially from clients facing real challenges in life, is humbling.

We welcome new clients and the opportunity to work with new people seeking to progress.

Both Michael and Jules are noted for their forthright advice and attention to detail which enables us to quickly get to grips with new issues in cases.
